BACKGROUND
Unilateral adrenalectomy was performed in 63 patients with primary aldosteronism. During a mean follow-up time of 4.1 years, none of the patients showed recurrence of hyperaldosteronism. However, 24 patients (38%) had persistent hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine factors responsible for postoperative persistent hypertension.
METHODS
A stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the combined predictive effects of the clinicopathologic variables.
RESULTS
Age, sex, and pathologic findings were the best predictive factors of postoperative persistent hypertension. For a patient aged 50 years or more, the odds of persisting hypertension are 10.6:1, compared with those of a patient under 40 years of age. A male patient appears to have a greater chance of hypertension than a female patient; the odds ratio is 5.9:1. Persistent hypertension develops in patients with multiple adenomas or with an adenoma associated with macronodules more frequently than in those patients with a solitary adenoma; the odds ratio is 8.1.
CONCLUSIONS
This study suggests that early surgical intervention at a younger age results in a more favorable outcome for patients with primary aldosteronism. The presence of macronodules in association with an adenoma is a cautious predictor of persistent hypertension after adrenalectomy.
